ABOUT
Property Information
This beautifully appointed rustic cottage sits at 4,500 feet of elevation and offers a rare expression of mountain luxury—where refined comfort meets the untamed beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Surrounded by cool mountain air, towering forests, and breathtaking long-range mountain views, the cottage feels wonderfully secluded and deeply connected to its setting. From its elevated perch, the home captures spectacular sunrises over the Blue Ridge, with the mountains slowly illuminated in layers of soft morning light. It is a setting that makes an ordinary cup of coffee feel like an extraordinary experience.
Natural materials, warm wood tones, and thoughtfully curated interiors create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting, evoking the timeless character of an elevated mountain retreat.
At the heart of the home, a beautifully designed chef’s kitchen blends sophisticated appointments with the warmth of a true mountain gathering place. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf gas range provide the caliber of appliances expected in a luxury retreat, while generous workspace and an inviting layout make the kitchen equally suited to elaborate dinners or leisurely breakfasts with family and friends.
Two impressive stone wood-burning fireplaces anchor the home, bringing warmth, character, and a sense of timeless mountain romance. One is found in the heart of the living space, while the other transforms the extraordinary screened porch into an unforgettable outdoor room. Framed by the surrounding forest and spectacular mountain views, the screened porch offers an idyllic setting for lingering fireside evenings, intimate gatherings, or simply listening to the quiet of the mountains.
Here, luxury is found in the details: quiet mornings watching the sunrise paint the ridgelines in gold, meals prepared in a world-class kitchen, afternoons immersed in the mountain landscape, and evenings gathered around a crackling fire. Every room invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the extraordinary sense of place.
Tucked just beyond the main residence, a charming studio in the woods offers a magical and inspiring escape of its own. Thoughtfully positioned among the trees, this private retreat is ideal for artists, writers, musicians, or anyone seeking a dedicated space for creativity and reflection. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by the sounds of the forest, it provides an atmosphere where inspiration flows effortlessly and time seems to slow.
At this elevation, the air is crisp, the seasons are vivid, and the surrounding mountains provide a magnificent backdrop in every direction. Whether enjoying coffee as the forest awakens, preparing dinner with friends, relaxing by the fire, or watching the sunrise unfold across the Blue Ridge, this is mountain living at its most authentic—and most indulgent.
Come see this private sanctuary above the clouds, where rustic character, exceptional craftsmanship, spectacular views, and understated luxury come together in perfect harmony.
